Quietly tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac in Chigwell, this first-floor two-bedroom maisonette is a straightforward, chain-free purchase with a very long lease (990 years) and its own private rear garden. The layout suits first-time buyers or investors who want an easy-to-manage home close to Central Line stations and major road links for commuting.
Internally the property has real character: parquet flooring in the living areas, two double bedrooms and a bright lounge with a large window. Practical comforts include double glazing, gas central heating and a semi-boarded loft plus several internal cupboards for storage. The kitchen provides useful workspace and storage, and the single bathroom serves both bedrooms.
The flat is essentially move-in ready but offers clear scope for cosmetic updating and personalisation, so buyers can add value gradually. EPC rating C and a low annual ground rent of around £100 keep running costs reasonable; council tax is band C with local crime reported low.
Location is a key strength: easy walking distance to Grange Hill and Hainault stations, local shops on Barkingside High Street and swift access to the A12, A406, M11 and M25. Nearby well-rated primary and secondary schools add appeal for families and long-term rental demand.
Note: accommodation includes one bathroom only and the property is a first-floor maisonette (stairs access). Tenure details show a long lease rather than freehold; service charges are stated as nil.
